Setting Up Online Responder Services in a Network

Setting up Online Responder services involves several
interrelated steps. Several of these steps must be performed on the
certification authority (CA) that will be used to issue the Online
Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) signing certificates necessary
for an Online Responder to function. These steps include
configuring the appropriate certificate template, enabling the
certificate template, and configuring and completing certificate
autoenrollment so that the computer hosting the Online Responder
has the certificates needed for the Online Responder to
function.

Installation and configuration of an Online Responder involves
using Server Manager to install the Online Responder service, the
Certificate Templates snap-in to configure and publish OCSP
Response Signing certificate templates, the Certification Authority
snap-in to include OCSP extensions in the certificates that it will
issue and to issue OCSP Response Signing certificates, and the
Online Responder snap-in to create a revocation configuration.

The following topics describe the steps needed to complete these
installation and configuration steps and how to verify that the
installation was successful.
